Foul fiend why do you prey on the little ones?
For the same reason you do.
I don’t prey on anything.
Indirectly you do.
How so foul fiend?
The same way all beings do.
Can you be clearer?
Yes, I prey on the smaller things for sustenance,
As you pray on animals like chickens for sustenance.
Like me, you are programmed to kill for survival.
Unlike me, you have made the process more acceptable
Minus the brutality of doing the actual killing.
In a way, I am more real than you and take responsibility
For my daily kills and consumption to remain alive.
I am hawk. Neither of us are foul fiends. We just are
as designed.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
